His red Datsun Z car is a class record holder and his gold and black streamliner is a technical marvel. The car is big and long and fast, but the engine is a tiny Ford Pinto block with all kinds of high-tech go-fast equipment. It cranks up about 400 ponies and moves that big aerodynamic hunk of iron along at blinding speed. These days Burton usually pulls the big streamliner in a bigger trailer than the one you see here, but this one is also a honey that made many trips to Utah. It\u2019s definitely a working man\u2019s rig, but a very well organized one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16031\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/bonneville-racers-hardworking-trailer\/rj91-photo-02\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-02.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"956,642\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D40X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1434108745&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"RJ91 Photo 02\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-02-300x201.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-02.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16031\" src=\"http:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-02.jpg\" alt=\"RJ91 Photo 02\" width=\"600\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-02.jpg 956w, https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-02-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16032\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/bonneville-racers-hardworking-trailer\/rj91-photo-03\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-03.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"956,642\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D40X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1434108749&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;180&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"RJ91 Photo 03\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-03-300x201.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-03.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-16032 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-03.jpg\" alt=\"RJ91 Photo 03\" width=\"600\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-03.jpg 956w, https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RJ91-Photo-03-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The manufacturers of this trailer were Pace American and they build a sturdy product.
